The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, The First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805 (Hardcover)
by Richard Zacks (Author)
Interesting tale of William Eaton (the primary character) and his efforts in fighting for the U.S. in the first Barbary War....with some information that still applies to the middle east of today. Eaton is best described as a super American patriot who sees the world in black and white and could not cope with the duplicitous policy making of diplomats and the President. The book shows the political side of Thomas Jefferson, in a less than favorable light.
